My name is Debi, I live in Oregon,have been paper crafting for about 7 years around a love for scrapbooking, made the forever album for my grandsons wedding
I’m sorry I have been MIA these past few months. I have been having different surgeries and more surgeries to come. Plus my husband and son both having surgeries also. I am hoping to get back into making albums with this amazing group! I have so much paper that I can use when it comes to making albums again.
Challenge complete. The paper is from Michael's. Super cute paper that I did not photograph well. It has gold foil accents on the paper. It's cool and cloudy and not great for pictures, but I shall not complain about poor lighting as last weeks heat index was 110+.
My camera is stamped in green to add a pop. I chose this camera stamp because it reminds me of my old cannon film camera that I use on nature walks.
I used Stickles on the cover to add dimension to the fire.
🏆August CHALLENGE COMPLETE
I had the best time playing with the Seasons Greetings paper kit from Carta Bella, and oh my goodness — the vintage vibes in this collection are EVERYTHING.
This folio layout is one of my favorites because it’s like a Mary Poppins bag of memory-keeping… it fits so many photos but still has flaps, tuck spots, and little surprises hiding everywhere. Perfect for storing all the Christmas chaos.
📸 Some of my favorite details:
That bold December 25th cover piece (front and center, because duh).
Little “special delivery” touches that make it feel like Santa dropped this off himself.
The rope tie I originally planned to use turned out to be too chunky for the closure — but honestly, it looks just like Santa’s toy sack rope, so it still makes me ridiculously happy. 🎅🏼🎁
This project makes me want to fill it with hot cocoa photos, gift-wrap disasters, and all the cheesy Christmas pajama shots.
Hi! This is my version of the Choice Folio. I had the same paper collection 🤭.
Challenge ends on the 31st. Am I calmly finishing up? Absolutely not. I’m knee-deep in paper scraps pretending the decorating stage doesn’t take a literal eternity.
At least the cover’s done, so I can look like I have my life together while the inside is still chaos. Totally fine. Everything’s fine. 🙃
(said in total sarcasm, because honestly I’m loving every single minute of this challenge)
And here is my version of the Peace folio. Used left overs from my Christmas Forever album.
August challenge complete! I used Echo Parks Baby Boy and Baby Girl to complete the albums.
